00:00The province of Bataan is now studying the declaration of the State of Calamity
00:04due to the effect of the sinking of the MT Terra Nova.
00:07They are worried that almost 11,000 fishermen may be affected if oil spills occur in the area.
00:15The details are in the writing of Ryan Leziguez.
00:22Diver 1, check the SL.
00:24What?
00:25SL, check the SL.
00:28SL?
00:29Roger.
00:31SL.
00:32SL?
00:33SL.
00:35I'll level alarm.
00:36Be careful.
00:39This is how meticulous the Philippine Coast Guard's sealation of the valves and pipes of the sinking MTKR Terra Nova
00:46to prevent the spread of such oil.
00:50Give me a long view.
00:51Long view.
00:52Give me a long view.
00:54Focus the camera.
00:56Stop.
00:57Okay.
00:59We still don't know what the CO2 is.
01:01Continue.
01:02According to the PCG, the leaking valves have been closed.
01:06But it should be ensured that it will not leak again.
01:09The 11 of the 24 pressure valves and high-level alarm sensor of the MTKR Terra Nova are sealed.
01:17You're right, sir.
01:18What we're looking at now and the challenges of our salvage operators,
01:24our divers, is the current under the sea.
01:28That's why they take a long time and it's hard to conduct.
01:33However, our operation is 24-7.
01:36They continuously do the assessment, seal and re-capping of our valves.
01:42The siphoning time did not start easily.
01:45Well, when we conduct siphoning, we will open the valves.
01:52And when we open the valves, definitely, sir,
01:55there are possible leaks and changes in the weight of the ship.
02:02It moves and things of that nature.
02:04We expect that there will be a possible change in the position of the ship.
02:11We are 500 meters away from the ground zero where the MT Terra Nova sank
02:19here in the ocean of Limay Bataan.
02:21From here, we can see the ships of the Philippine Coast Guard
02:24and the oil spill boom that they put.
02:27This ship is also here behind me, Helen Marie,
02:31where they will put the oil from the ship.
02:36The provincial government of Bataan is studying the state of calamity
02:41due to the effect of the sinking of the MTKR Terra Nova.
02:45According to the local government,
02:47up to 11,000 fishermen will be affected by the oil spill.
02:54Right now, sir, we cannot see that they are directly affected.
02:57But because of the oil spill,
03:01our countrymen are afraid to buy our fish products or aquaculture products.
03:12The sea of Limang Barangay in Limay Bataan is not safe for swimming and fishing.
03:16It is already contaminated with oil based on the water quality test of the DENR.
03:21The oil and fat obtained from the water samples is 5 to 30 mg per liter.
03:27It is higher than 2.0 mg per liter for safe swimming
03:32while 3.0 mg per liter for safe fishing.
03:37Maybe the fact that it's above standard,
03:40it will definitely affect the catch and the people.
03:44In Limay, the fishing ban is still in effect.
03:47Meanwhile, the State of Calamity has already declared the province of Cavite
03:52as one of the municipalities due to the oil spill from Bataan.
03:56According to Cavite Governor Junvi Cremulia,
03:59Bakuor, Kawit, Noveleta, Rosario, Tanza, Naik, Maragondon, and Ternate are included here.
04:07The No Catch Zone is also being established for all types of shellfish
04:12such as Tahong, Alimasag, and Alimango.
04:15Currently, Cavite Governor Junvi Cremulia is filing a case
04:20for the distribution of aid to their 25,000 fishermen.
